Apparently I'm not the only one who watches Garden Answer first thing every morning (when available). Wow almost 8,000 people also watched this within the first hour. We really appreciate being able to start our day with you!
You should do an “If I Could Only Plant One” list where you list the one variety of each vegetable and fruit you would plant if you could only pick one variety! It would help us gardeners with small backyard spaces!
Wow! My mind is going back to the times on the farm when a garden harvest like this would mean that canning would be geared up for the next few days! It looks so beautiful!! I envy those lucky people who are gonna benefit! Bravo Laura and Aaron! 💚💚💚👍
One word: SPECTACULAR!!! This was truly epic. Full of goodies, gorgeous flowers and bountiful veg! Thanks for starting the week of just right Laura!💚💚🎉💯
Omg this harvest and your garden is so beautiful!! Nothing has made me cry during my pregnancy but I think I found my trigger lol I can’t wait until I get into a house with a yard, my deck garden is no longer cutting it now.
Seeing you harvesting all those crops brings the brightest smile on my face! Knowing the stress you go through, especially this year with the extreme weather and such, it feels even more rewarding knowing you could still have this amazing crop that you are also so kindly sharing! Such an inspiration! Hope you are all doing well guys, greetings from Germany! 😊
Wow what a haul!! I can't believe how much you harvested!! The flowers look so beautiful and how sweet that your friend will have flowers for her wedding from your garden!! 🌼🌼
Laura, may I ask for a video on the grilled peaches with the cinnamon cream? Loved the abundance of crop you harvested. Seeing you with all of the produce and the scale made me very happy. Thanks for all your help, tips and advice!
If I ever have overripe melons of all kinds I purée them and turn into sorbet/ice cream or freeze into ice cubes for adding to punch or tea. Also can chunk it up and freeze to add to smoothies. So good. Love your videos :-)
Yes, blending a melon is good for when they are a little under-ripe too. It's also a good way to preserve them. Freeze them in jars for fresh watermelon juice in the dead of winter.
Having 4 little grandkids 👧🧒🧒🧒 and you have now convinced me to plant my own fruit trees!! My grandkids eat so much fruit and I can never find good "ripe" fruit in the stores. This would be such a pleasure to go in my backyard and pick just at the "ripe time". Lol. 🍐🍑🍊🍏
I grew up in the mountains of upper East Tennessee, and we had a garden. I remember our vegetable suppers. We would have all the vegetables from our garden, with a pan of cornbread, and a glass of cold milk. What a wonderful meal it would be. Then all the extra we would can. Thanks for helping me remember those times with my family. Hope some day you can look back, and have good memories of your family suppers. I think you are on a good start. Thanking God for His blessings.
I wasn't sure if there would be a video today but YES, here it is, all the fruits of your labor. How perfect. And how satisfying to see that gator like that. Huge success & a yummy dinner with the family. All those super hot days payed off. Nice job you guys. So much inspiration. So happy for you all. And those flowers. Oh my gosh. Beautiful....❤
I loved seeing Benjamin driving his car too. I love the show. I’m learning new things about gardening all the time. I’m going to make cowboy candy from the peppers in my garden, I just got my proven Winners drip kit a few days ago. I divided my garden into zones and completed zone one yesterday. This is the first year i harvested seeds from flowers other than my sweet peas. Garden Answer Laura and Aaron inspire me. I also love seeing Laura and her Mom spending time crafting, canning, treasure shopping and more. Thank you.

Laura and Aaron; I am pretty much speechless. Your family, home and gardens are just phenomenal. Thank you for taking time to share with us. What a gift you have and share so much knowledge. Saying you have a green thumb is an understatement!
Road trip to OR for free bouquet from Laura’s garden day! Anyone else?! 🙋🏼♀️ Your community and friends/family are so blessed to have you. What a wonderful way to brighten peoples day. 💐 🥰
I'm here at work this morning on Labor Day and it was so wonderful to know I had a video to watch and such a beautiful delicious video thanks Laura for all your inspiration and for sharing we love it 💞🙂🌼
I know you’re so very busy, but I’d really love to come along with you on your day processing all your fruits and veggies, even if all you’re going is prepping to freeze. I think it’s so great that if you spend the time to save food then you can be self sufficient and rely less on the grocery store, what a blessing! These past two years have proven that the more self reliant you can be the better, who knows what’ll be thrown at us next! 💗💗💗
Laura and Aaron! Couple of the year. So thankful and blessed. You're mantra "I'm so thankful". Love from BC, CANADA . Semi-desert belt of the Okanagan.
Takes me back to my childhood at my grandmother's She had an amazing garden (huge). She used to can and freeze. So much fun. Great harvest. You go girl!
Wow, wow, wow! Stunning harvest! Well done Laura and Aaron! So great you will be sharing with others as well! Can't wait to see the bridal bouquet you create too!
I just love watching your harvest videos. I get as excited to see your haul as I do my own! I can’t help but dream of all the ways I would can and preserve the harvest as you are picking it. Well done Laura!
I’m wondering where your burn pile will be this year with so much of the “new property” developed? Such an enjoyable video to watch, you guys!! Great job on the grass, Aaron!
Wowza that is amazing!!!! I didn’t thin my peaches in time and had tons of TINY peaches. I already put a note on the calendar for next year. Thank you for all you do!! Love your family ❤️
Such bountiful crops! I learn so much from you. For instance, when you tell about the watering requirements of different plants and how you stop watering watermelons prior to harvesting them. Makes sense, but I didn’t know that. I know how exciting and satisfying it is to grow vegetables and fruit, albeit on a much smaller scale. It’s so rewarding. I love that you share your excess food with others. What a blessing that is and you are, Laura.
I love seeing the grass pathways they look like a flowing river of green! Harvest is sooo abundant I'm just amazed. I planted a 12x16 veggie garden this year for the first time,although my first garden love is flowers, I actually got crops of cucumbers, squash , Beans, tomatoes, peas and herbs. I fondly call it the farm and share with my grown children and my grandchildren and neighbors too! Daisy May is my friendly scarecrow that everyone ❤️s! You both are so young full of energy, life and knowledge! Thanks for the food and flower inspiration!!❤️❤️👍
Just an amazing harvest! You will really be busy with a large part of it preserving, probably freezing and of course eating and enjoying. It’s such a wonderful feeling to GROW, HARVEST AND EAT. I love going to the grocery store and saying I don’t need that, or that or even those. So satisfying for sure, then if canning just to see the harvest in jars as well. BLESSED FOR SURE!
"Different spot" is right!!! Looks sooo much different every time you take us out, just remarkable! Beautiful place you guys!! Its soo exciting to watch, thank you for sharing all of your hard work...and your precious family. 💕
You're simply an amazing grower of ALL things! I'm always blown away after watching you work.. That's just it... Watching and doing are two different things entirely... My knees are shot from a 35+ year long career in group fitness and training... Also riding horses and chasing after 5 kids around here on the farm! I can't kneel down like you do in your gardening projects and with all of your planting and harvesting.. I do have my limitations. But I still keep going because you inspire me! Happy Labor Day! I do hope you take a day off to rest your little body! Whew what a Beautiful Bountiful haul!!
OMG Laura I have never seen produce that beautiful! You have been blessed through your hard work. And then you manage to bless others, as well. You do my heart good. I am a vegetarian, but your dinner did sound delicious! Enjoy. Big Hugs. xo
It's so satisfying to harvest and eat produce from your own garden! I don't have anything near the same scale as you but I'm thrilled with my daily handful of Berried Treasure strawberries or my potatoes and carrots to have with dinner. You have encouraged me to try to grow new things in my little garden plot and the results have been amazing. Thank you for being so informative and an inspiration to us gardeners!
Laura & Aaron,you inspire me everyday. Im already planning what I’m planting next year & it’s because of you both!❤️. I have a new area that’s bigger for next year lol. I’ve never planted bulbs in the fall but I am this year!! I ordered a color blend catalog & already know which ones I’m getting! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!❤️❤️. PS lol, I got my daughter & my 2 daughter in loves hooked on you too!! Lol
This started my day on such a bright note!! I live vicariously through you and seeing you so excited to harvest such beautiful bounty is so refreshing . Thank you thank you for being such a positive, happy addition to my daily routine!! I Look forward to tomorrow every day!!
Such an awesome and colorful harvest. You work so hard on your gardens but you make it look so easy and seamless because you absolutely love what you do. That's very inspiring and that's why I enjoy your videos so much. Keep doing what you do best.🙂
It’s so inspiring to see how much food you can produce! It makes me want to try planting up a few more varieties next year (maybe even potatoes). I appreciate the fact that you donate your excess food. Your kindness knows no bounds! I’m about ready to harvest some tomatoes for the first time ever, and if it wasn’t for your guidance, I would not have even tried- I’ve learned so much from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge with us every week!
It doesn’t seem five minutes since you planted all those trees, I can’t believe how much fruit you’ve picked in their first year. So much delicious fresh veg too, how wonderful to pick and cook your own produce so easily. You’ve worked hard for it mind you. 😋
These harvest videos are worth waiting for! I have seen you plant them and now harvesting like they were just planted yesterday! Awesome picking today Laura! By the way, that dinner sounds yum!
Oh, so I heard at the end of this video that you guys donate so much of your crops that is a very noble thing to do. Gob bless you. So disregard my first comment.
Wow this haul of produce looks amazing. Good luck for the next step of canning, freezing etc and finding homes for all that good food. You are truly amazing.
I want a Gator filled with fruits and vegetables after watching this! The best advertisement ever! I was waiting for the slo-mo shot and a filter with cheezy music while panning. haha! Nothing could've made your haul look better and more appetizing. It was amazing! Well done this season! :)
I've had a ton of cucumbers too. I couldn't eat them or give them away fast enough. It turns out chickens love them, which is great. Now I'm slicing them thin and giving them to my chickens. They love them. They would probably like them whole too -- give them something to do. Lovely garden.
I work night shift so I usually catch it just as I’m getting out of work but I’m catching it just as I’m waking up to go to work today and what a gorgeous colorful bounty!! Very blessed. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼♥️😊
LaRae, I was thinking the same thing! My parents always had a huge garden. My mother, bless her, spent all summer canning and freezing for our family, plus my parents always shared with family and friends. I am an expert picker, shucker, and sheller. That was a beautiful load of produce, and dinner sounded delicious!
The peach trees at 14:30 look amazing! I grew peaches this year, and was pretty successful too! I was surprised she mentioned almost all of the fruit was clean without spraying any insecticide. Maybe the spray for overwintering insects helped!
Hey Laura and Aaron! I've noticed that y'all's sunflowers have looked perfect these past few videos and I was wondering if you could give us a video on how to maintain your sunflower. My neighbors and I have struggled on how to keep them from yellowing and being taken over by odd pest, that we have never seen. We spray them with an organic neam oil solution and organic insecticidal soap every couple of days and it still manages to do the same. Also, Thank you! Laura and Aaron for the inspiration and happiness that you bring into my life! My anxiety levels have been able to go down and I never feel depress anymore because y'all inspire me to be in the garden!
That harvest looks amazing! Try grilling the peaches with blue cheese in the middle and drizzled with honey. It works especially well with overripe peaches and they turn out DELICIOUS! That is how my family always gets our tree totally picked clean 🥰
Truly amazing! Do you think that your sunny high desert climate gives you a higher yield per plant than a more mild climate would? All of the plants look so insanely loaded!
I would say absolutely. Long growing season with hot temps and full sun, low humidity, and controlled watering are pretty much perfect conditions for many food crops.
@@christine5669 and temps that cool down overnight. There’s a reason that Laura’s valley and the Western Slope in Colorado grow so much stone fruit and melon. (Trivia: there’s a high school in CO who are known as the “Meloneers”. 😂)
Planting and harvesting is the most fun part to do in the garden. All hardworks and sweats are all worth it when the day you harvest comes, because it pays it all off.❤️🌻
A beautiful and bountiful harvest! There is no result any better than this, that a hard-working family can ask for! The dedication to your love of gardening is evident in your wonderful harvest. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and may all of your harvests be as abundant. Happy Labor Day!
I love Harvest season in the garden, finding those treasures is such a treat!! The flowers in the cut flower garden are beautiful, can't wait to watch the bouquet video! The melons you harvested look really good! Those peppers are gorgeous! The fruit trees look great not mention the fruit! Your harvest is beautiful & I bet satisfying! 😃🥰🍉🥒🌶🫑🍅🍑🌻🍂🍁💐
Wow! The bounty of harvest from your efforts never ceases to amaze and impress! I, like others have mentioned, remember large harvests followed by days of canning, pickling, freezing, making jams and jellies, etc. Such positive results from a season of hard work!
Thank you for sharing your Mom with us! She is lovely. Lots of love and wishes for a speedy recovery. The stories were great to hear, I feel like I garden right along with you two! Thank you for all the inspiration and tutorials. This was a great idea, can't wait for the next one and one with your Dad! Have a great week.
So wonderful that you honor Aaron’s Olympic run with the Rio bucket. 🤣🤣 That comment cracked me up in your recap video. What an abundance of food! I kept thinking “what do you eat first?” There’s such joy when you can share with others what you are able to grow. You’re doing that literally and with us virtually. Thank you!
“This is the kind of produce I sneak onto my dad’s desk.”😂🤣 So funny!!! I immediately thought “its a butt melon”, then scarecrow came to mind and with Halloween right around the corner…oh boy, this could be a fun one!!!🥰
WOW, WOW, WOW so happy for you, AND the people you share with - and of course, the smile you bring to your Dad's face when he sees that funny fruit. Looks like the name of that plant you won't say out loud. LOL
Terrific harvest! I tried my hand at pumpkins this year and was so excited when the first of the flowers showed. Unfortunately, the plants only produced male flowers. Not a single female flower and the vines eventually succumbed to powdery mildew because of the overabundance of rain and humidity we’ve gotten here in Upstate New York (Saratoga Region) this summer. I ended up pulling the vines on Saturday which broke my heart. But, because of watching your videos, I knew enough to replant the bed will a fall crop of peas. Thanks for always encouraging us through your videos.
"so grateful". I agree. I think that every time I pick something and enjoy it. I am so grateful that I am capable of putting in the time and the work, and that Mother Nature pays me back with lovely food!
Hey Laura, this was our first year in a house and thanks to your inspiration, I have done lots to the landscape and my small garden! I did grow watermelon, but did not know to cut the water to them. Some of my Sugar Baby are ready, but others as well as my Crimson Sweet are far behind! If I cut the water for the biggest ones will the small ones still do ok? Cutting water here also means they would still get rain here 🌧.. Thanks, Lindsay
Your such a very giving person and that's why your garden is so productive and beautiful and the more you give the more you will receive god bless your heart
thank you for showing your mistakes as well as your success with picking the plants (like picking the white pumpkin on accident) a lot of times it seems like gardeners on the internet can’t make mistakes but you showing that you have is reassuring :’)
Your giving garden is so bountiful. Is anyone else wishing they were Laura’s friend or neighbor right now? Those watermelon and peaches made me salivate- they are the epitome of summer.
Wow-it IS so BEAUTIFUL to see such a wonderful harvest! I can’t remember if you have a chest freezer? I imagine you do, perhaps in your basement. When I had a large (no comparison to your space in size-lol!) ‘truck’ garden in Northern Nee Hampshire, I had just a fridge freezer so I did give away much of my harvest ad I hadn’t learned to can as yet. You dinner plans sound FABULOUS (made me hungry 😊) would you be able to share the cooking process? How do you makes mashed potatoes? Can you share the desert you described? Thanks for a beautiful start to my Labor Day Laura-Happy Labor Day to you and your. Some of the hardest working people around 😊!!!!!
Happy Labor Day everyone! Laura, you’ve gotten a lot of use out of your high tunnels, but what’s the plan when you take them down?? Will the new shed in the orchard take their place/role?
Good morning 😃 Laura had meantioned she will be taking the high tunnels down and perhaps using that space for a crop of Dahlias or Tomatoes. She has ideas…
She has said the shed is a flower shed. The high tunnels are used for shrubs waiting to be planted...so yeah was wandering where those were going too when tunnels are taken down🤔
We’re going to just store the tunnels for now. We’re hoping to operate a bit differently next year- with far fewer things on hand. It can be challenging to keep so many things looking great through the weeks and weeks of high temps and winds we get. For now, anything extra we have, we plan to store behind our original greenhouse (now that the arbs back there are gone). We’ll see how it goes! 🤞☺️
@@gardenanswer NONE of my business, but I’ll just go on record (and on a limb) right now, and say I think that Baby no. 3 may be on the way?!?! 🤭 I was right for Benjamin, didn’t see it with Samantha Grace, but I think I’m right this time! We shall see… 😁 ANYHOO, thank you for letting us into your lives through this awesome channel! 🥰👏💐
Apparently I'm not the only one who watches Garden Answer first thing every morning (when available). Wow almost 8,000 people also watched this within the first hour. We really appreciate being able to start our day with you!
Yes. I think a lot of us start our days with their video and our coffee! Great way to start the day!
I watch first thing in the morning with coffee in hand and in my backyard. ❤
Labor Day! Some folks not working (lol). Not that I think it matters that much.
I’m surprised that there are not a lot more likes registered.

Oh my, that weird melon is hilarious! I would love to see your dad's reaction to that crazy melon...🤣
When Laura said that’s the kind of produce she puts on her dad’s desk, my husband and I cracked up!! ...still laughing out loud!! 😂😂😂

Having melon sorbet on hand can never be a bad thing.

It’s so inspiring to see how much food you can produce! It makes me want to try planting up a few more varieties next year (maybe even potatoes). I appreciate the fact that you donate your excess food. Your kindness knows no bounds! I’m about ready to harvest some tomatoes for the first time ever, and if it wasn’t for your guidance, I would not have even tried- I’ve learned so much from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge with us every week!
I think she already harvested potatoes about 2weeks ago.
Yes! I saw that video already, which is what’s inspiring me to try planting them next year.
What a wonderful harvest! I attribute it to your diligent care, humid-less heat, soil, and Well water coming straight from the mountains.
What a blessing, all that fresh produce…your hard work rewarded…and giving some away…a true gift. Thank you.
It doesn’t seem five minutes since you planted all those trees, I can’t believe how much fruit you’ve picked in their first year. So much delicious fresh veg too, how wonderful to pick and cook your own produce so easily. You’ve worked hard for it mind you. 😋
I like seeing the high tunnels. Seems like it’s realistic since they’re being used. Don’t need to hide all of the working parts…😊
The colors of your vegetables are so vibrant
These harvest videos are worth waiting for! I have seen you plant them and now harvesting like they were just planted yesterday! Awesome picking today Laura! By the way, that dinner sounds yum!
Oh, so I heard at the end of this video that you guys donate so much of your crops that is a very noble thing to do. Gob bless you. So disregard my first comment.
Wow this haul of produce looks amazing. Good luck for the next step of canning, freezing etc and finding homes for all that good food. You are truly amazing.
How exciting, from an empty piece of property to an abundance of production. Truly inspiring.
Seriously laughed out loud when you said you were going to put the deformed melon on your dad's desk. That would be funny to see his reaction 😂
I want a Gator filled with fruits and vegetables after watching this! The best advertisement ever! I was waiting for the slo-mo shot and a filter with cheezy music while panning. haha! Nothing could've made your haul look better and more appetizing. It was amazing! Well done this season! :)
I've had a ton of cucumbers too. I couldn't eat them or give them away fast enough. It turns out chickens love them, which is great. Now I'm slicing them thin and giving them to my chickens. They love them. They would probably like them whole too -- give them something to do. Lovely garden.
I work night shift so I usually catch it just as I’m getting out of work but I’m catching it just as I’m waking up to go to work today and what a gorgeous colorful bounty!! Very blessed. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼♥️😊
I’ll add my request to the others for the recipe for the grilled peach dessert. Sounds so yummy!
LaRae, I was thinking the same thing! My parents always had a huge garden. My mother, bless her, spent all summer canning and freezing for our family, plus my parents always shared with family and friends. I am an expert picker, shucker, and sheller. That was a beautiful load of produce, and dinner sounded delicious!
The peach trees at 14:30 look amazing! I grew peaches this year, and was pretty successful too! I was surprised she mentioned almost all of the fruit was clean without spraying any insecticide. Maybe the spray for overwintering insects helped!
Hey Laura and Aaron! I've noticed that y'all's sunflowers have looked perfect these past few videos and I was wondering if you could give us a video on how to maintain your sunflower. My neighbors and I have struggled on how to keep them from yellowing and being taken over by odd pest, that we have never seen. We spray them with an organic neam oil solution and organic insecticidal soap every couple of days and it still manages to do the same. Also, Thank you! Laura and Aaron for the inspiration and happiness that you bring into my life! My anxiety levels have been able to go down and I never feel depress anymore because y'all inspire me to be in the garden!
That harvest looks amazing! Try grilling the peaches with blue cheese in the middle and drizzled with honey. It works especially well with overripe peaches and they turn out DELICIOUS! That is how my family always gets our tree totally picked clean 🥰
The bed of the gator was a masterpiece. So beautiful!
Truly amazing! Do you think that your sunny high desert climate gives you a higher yield per plant than a more mild climate would? All of the plants look so insanely loaded!
I would say absolutely. Long growing season with hot temps and full sun, low humidity, and controlled watering are pretty much perfect conditions for many food crops.
@@christine5669 and temps that cool down overnight. There’s a reason that Laura’s valley and the Western Slope in Colorado grow so much stone fruit and melon. (Trivia: there’s a high school in CO who are known as the “Meloneers”. 😂)
@@GardenKath that's hilarious! And very good point about the cooler overnight temps.
Planting and harvesting is the most fun part to do in the garden. All hardworks and sweats are all worth it when the day you harvest comes, because it pays it all off.❤️🌻
When you remove the high tunnels you could extend the black fence so you can start the compost pile
A beautiful and bountiful harvest! There is no result any better than this, that a hard-working family can ask for! The dedication to your love of gardening is evident in your wonderful harvest. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and may all of your harvests be as abundant. Happy Labor Day!
Love that your mom said to put huge zucchini's in someone's car and you put unusual melons on you dads desk. Just made me laugh!!
I love Harvest season in the garden, finding those treasures is such a treat!! The flowers in the cut flower garden are beautiful, can't wait to watch the bouquet video! The melons you harvested look really good! Those peppers are gorgeous! The fruit trees look great not mention the fruit! Your harvest is beautiful & I bet satisfying! 😃🥰🍉🥒🌶🫑🍅🍑🌻🍂🍁💐
Wow! The bounty of harvest from your efforts never ceases to amaze and impress! I, like others have mentioned, remember large harvests followed by days of canning, pickling, freezing, making jams and jellies, etc. Such positive results from a season of hard work!
Thank you for sharing your Mom with us! She is lovely. Lots of love and wishes for a speedy recovery. The stories were great to hear, I feel like I garden right along with you two! Thank you for all the inspiration and tutorials. This was a great idea, can't wait for the next one and one with your Dad! Have a great week.
There is that saying….” Enough to feed an army”. Well, YOU could feed an army🤯❤️
So wonderful that you honor Aaron’s Olympic run with the Rio bucket. 🤣🤣 That comment cracked me up in your recap video. What an abundance of food! I kept thinking “what do you eat first?” There’s such joy when you can share with others what you are able to grow. You’re doing that literally and with us virtually. Thank you!
“This is the kind of produce I sneak onto my dad’s desk.”😂🤣 So funny!!! I immediately thought “its a butt melon”, then scarecrow came to mind and with Halloween right around the corner…oh boy, this could be a fun one!!!🥰
WOW, WOW, WOW so happy for you, AND the people you share with - and of course, the smile you bring to your Dad's face when he sees that funny fruit. Looks like the name of that plant you won't say out loud. LOL
Terrific harvest! I tried my hand at pumpkins this year and was so excited when the first of the flowers showed. Unfortunately, the plants only produced male flowers. Not a single female flower and the vines eventually succumbed to powdery mildew because of the overabundance of rain and humidity we’ve gotten here in Upstate New York (Saratoga Region) this summer. I ended up pulling the vines on Saturday which broke my heart. But, because of watching your videos, I knew enough to replant the bed will a fall crop of peas. Thanks for always encouraging us through your videos.
"so grateful". I agree. I think that every time I pick something and enjoy it. I am so grateful that I am capable of putting in the time and the work, and that Mother Nature pays me back with lovely food!
Hey Laura, this was our first year in a house and thanks to your inspiration, I have done lots to the landscape and my small garden! I did grow watermelon, but did not know to cut the water to them. Some of my Sugar Baby are ready, but others as well as my Crimson Sweet are far behind! If I cut the water for the biggest ones will the small ones still do ok? Cutting water here also means they would still get rain here 🌧.. Thanks, Lindsay
Cut it now and see! Excited for you
What a bountiful harvest. The peaches are flawless. Those different peppers, so colorful. God bless you.
What a beautiful harvest! My favourite line, 'I wouldn't look that good after 19 days without water'. 😂
Your such a very giving person and that's why your garden is so productive and beautiful and the more you give the more you will receive god bless your heart
Weird produce: Laura’s answer is “I think I’ll sneak this onto my dads desk”
Ha, ha, that is funny!
thank you for showing your mistakes as well as your success with picking the plants (like picking the white pumpkin on accident) a lot of times it seems like gardeners on the internet can’t make mistakes but you showing that you have is reassuring :’)
Hi from Australia. The peaches look amazing. We would need to net them here as the cockatoos and rosellas would have a feast! Nothing would be left.
Your giving garden is so bountiful. Is anyone else wishing they were Laura’s friend or neighbor right now? Those watermelon and peaches made me salivate- they are the epitome of summer.
Wow-it IS so BEAUTIFUL to see such a wonderful harvest! I can’t remember if you have a chest freezer? I imagine you do, perhaps in your basement. When I had a large (no comparison to your space in size-lol!) ‘truck’ garden in Northern Nee Hampshire, I had just a fridge freezer so I did give away much of my harvest ad I hadn’t learned to can as yet. You dinner plans sound FABULOUS (made me hungry 😊) would you be able to share the cooking process? How do you makes mashed potatoes? Can you share the desert you described? Thanks for a beautiful start to my Labor Day Laura-Happy Labor Day to you and your. Some of the hardest working people around 😊!!!!!
Girl!! My mouth watered when your opened that peach!!! I see a peach tree in my future!!
Happy Labor Day everyone! Laura, you’ve gotten a lot of use out of your high tunnels, but what’s the plan when you take them down?? Will the new shed in the orchard take their place/role?
Good morning 😃 Laura had meantioned she will be taking the high tunnels down and perhaps using that space for a crop of Dahlias or Tomatoes. She has ideas…
She has said the shed is a flower shed. The high tunnels are used for shrubs waiting to be planted...so yeah was wandering where those were going too when tunnels are taken down🤔
She said in the recap video that she was going to store them for now.
We’re going to just store the tunnels for now. We’re hoping to operate a bit differently next year- with far fewer things on hand. It can be challenging to keep so many things looking great through the weeks and weeks of high temps and winds we get. For now, anything extra we have, we plan to store behind our original greenhouse (now that the arbs back there are gone). We’ll see how it goes! 🤞☺️
@@gardenanswer NONE of my business, but I’ll just go on record (and on a limb) right now, and say I think that Baby no. 3 may be on the way?!?! 🤭
I was right for Benjamin, didn’t see it with Samantha Grace, but I think I’m right this time! We shall see… 😁
ANYHOO, thank you for letting us into your lives through this awesome channel! 🥰👏💐
Hi Laura! You sure got a really nice harvest of melons and peppers! It's fun watching you enjoying the harvesting. Thank you for sharing!
